CARS – Cash For Clunkers – Milwaukee

CARS – Cash for Clunkers Information

“CARS” (Car Allowance Rebate System), also known as “Cash for Clunkers”, or “Cash for Guzzlers” is a Government program operated by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to offer U.S. drivers an incentive to purchase a new, more fuel-efficient, vehicle. This will get more new cars on the road, and get old gas-guzzling models off them.

There are a few requirements to receive the $3,500 or $4,500 credit. These include:
[simple_box][circle_list]

Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date

Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify

Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in

You don’t need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase

Program runs through Nov 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.

The vehicle that you are trading in is required to be destroyed. Therefore, the value you negotiate with the dealer for your trade in is not likely to exceed its scrap value. The law requires the dealer to disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in vehicle.

There are other stipulations for work trucks.

Hello, I was wondering if I traded in my chevy mailbu before Nov 1 2009. What would my trade in value approximately be including the cash for clunkers program. I am interesting in purchasing a 2008-2010 Toyota Corolla.

If your vehicle qualifies, just based in the fact you are getting a Corolla it woulde be $4,500. Unless you chose to go with a 2.4 litre engine. Though it all depnds on if th Malibu’s combined fuel economy is 18mpg or less. Please visit cars.gov for more information.
